Was the On-board capacitor to assist with dirty track issues included in the Gen 2 receiver module? I have one installed but am waiting for steam controls and sounds before installing the Gen 3 boards I have purchased.
If the rails/wheels aren't rusty, a run of artist grade graphite stick every other month and occasionally running you loco every few days should be enough.
However, for a complete worry free solution, a small commercial supercapacitor based solution should be enough.
Amrit™, which we expect to be available by early next year takes it a level beyond where you can have unpowered sections of track e.g. reversing loop doesn't need to be powered, etc. and have worry free operation for minutes and yet maintain total control of your train.
